The Watch List comprises all programs, with a number of limited exceptions, against whom we have received five or more complaints via our complaint submission form. Forum posts and other methods of complaint are not taken into consideration when compiling the Watch List.

It should be recognised that as such, the Watch List represents a crude measure of assessing a site's characteristics and honesty. We do not recommend that our visitors use the Watch List in isolation to guide their future decisions regarding programs, and we would encourage them to undertake additional reading and research in order to assess the legitimacy and credibility of a program, for example by using our discussion forum.

There are a number of exceptions to the Watch List, the most important of which are programs appearing on our Boycott List, and dead programs. In exceptional circumstances, the GPTBoycott staff will remove a program from the Watch List because the complaints are invalid for one reason or another. Requests for removal of a program from the list will not be answered, unless that request is made by the program's ownership. Any such requests should be made using the contact form provided.
